Sunday PicSpam.

[curiouswombat]

A miscellany of pictures...

Last night S2C went to pour himself coffee only to find it had gone cold. The heating element had gone on the coffee maker. So, this afternoon I went out and bought a new one. Less convenient than the old one, which had a removable water reservoir and so was easily filled. But, of course, that was such a good idea that they don't make them like that any more...

But the new one is very pretty...







And now a picture I took during the week. This is of a boat in the boat repair yard in Ramsey...








And, again totally unrelated, yesterday was Messy Church. Our theme was 'family' as it is so close to Mothering Sunday. I was doing the food related activity, and had children making portraits of family members using small shortbread biscuits, butter cream, and lots of coloured fondant!



Here's one I made earlier as a demo - I'm sure you recognise my husband and daughter...



OK - I couldn't quite work out how to do his glasses...!



And a few pictures of the ones the children made, and their cards for their Mums;





As you can see we get Dads, and Grandads (below) involved-




and there were gift boxes for their Mums, with sweeties in -


Cards with a lot of glitter -


Glitter is the sort of 'messy' a lot of them don't do at home - it does mess up the carpets and so I can quite understand, but they all love to be allowed to use it!

And finally - some family portraits...





Bet you wish you had your portrait in shortbread and icing!
